Module 1.1: Intercultural Development
Thursday, July 23, 12 p.m. - 2 p.m.

Module 1.2: Systems of Power and Privilege
Monday, July 27, 12 p.m. - 2 p.m.
We explore systems of power and privilege, how those benefit some while marginalizing others, how they are institutionalized and intersectional.
Module 1.3: Understanding Culture
Wednesday, July 29, 12 p.m. - 2 p.m.
We explore culture, and how cultural values inform beliefs and behaviors. We learn how to identify our own cultural norms, and how those influence our interactions and assumptions.

We explore social identity categories, identify the ones to which we belong, and examine how this influences our experiences in the world.
Module 1.5: Implicit Bias
Wednesday, August 5, 12 p.m. - 2 p.m.
We examine how unconscious or implicit biases we hold, based on our culture and identity groups, show up in our everyday actions and engage with strategies to uncover, explore, and counteract.
Module 1.6: Microaggressions & Inclusive Language
Thursday, August 13, 12 p.m. - 2 p.m.
We extend the conversation about implicit bias into the ways it manifests in microagressions, language, and appropriation, while trying out strategies to increase the inclusiveness of our language and eliminate microagressions.
Module 1.7: Ally, Accomplice, Advocate
Monday, August 24, 12 p.m. - 2 p.m.
We explore strategies to act as ally, accomplice, and advocate for our own groups, and for others, to build inclusive communities, and explore the tension between intent and impact.
